but good players will fold winnig hands. no use getting mixed up in that hand after 5th, you need runner runner low and could be drawing practically dead for high. Much easier to find a better spot to put your money in.

beav, first hand 1/2 stud 8 on pacific.

(23)4 I'm the bring in, 1 raise 4 other players call. 7 on 4th 4 way capped my opponents boards are

86
TT
J9

5th i get 5 3 way capped other low dropped so i figure I'm getting 1/2.
6th i get 6 but 3 way capped again so I'm only getting 1/2, meaningless 7 on end.

guy only had trip tens other guy has 2 pair $120 pot on 1/2 table, LMAO

I should point out playing 1/2 at pacific is like playing 5/10 elsewhere. they use a 50 cent ante! on 1/2!!! pot starts at 4.50 after bring in

pacific is the only place i'll play stud 8, 6-8 people see 4th street every hand. the pots are generally over $30 every hand. and the players are weak passive.

you take some beats but hey.

personally i like the bigger ante, I have to call a 50 cent bring in into an $8 pot. if you play tight you always get paid off when you hit.

I believe party has a 25 cent ante, i know it's lowerthan pacifics

$0.50 for 1/2 is a bit high. The lowest casino game I've seen is 1/5 with a $0.50 ante, $1 bring in, and 2/5 betting. The best low limit action, rake, and structure is usually online. Surprised to see this.

Good hand, Beav. You had the right mindset. Imagine if you hit a 3 or 5 on 5th St.He might've even bet if you hit an Ace. What would you have done? How many people were still in the hand and what was the pot if you remember of have an HH?

foxwoods has a 50 cent ante up to 5/10.

I've still never made the Foxwoods trip. That's pretty awesome for 5/10. But as bad as the game is, as you say, Steve, the high ante is pretty good. Everyone else is putting in the same ante.

foxwoods is actually 7 stud central, somehow the game stays incredibly popular in the northeast. So the games over 20/40 are tough.

I wouldn't play above 10/20 stud at the woods, there are some serious 7 stud pro's down there, and there is also a lot of people playing out of the same roll if you get my drift.
